They Said It Would Get Better (It Didn't) Lyrics

Punching in and waiting for a lunch break or a smoke

After high school I thought things would change but that's a joke

This mindless dead-end job is sucking out my very soul

I can't believe that I believed that lie that I was told

(They said it would get better)

Sitting in my cubicle and staring at the clock

My boss is coming over here but I don't wanna talk

I'm hating life much more these days than I ever used to

I'm feeling sorry for myself cuz I think I've been fooled

They said it would get better

But it didn't

I'm wishing for a better life but who isn't

I need to carry on but my heart's not in it

Don't ask me how I am, my head is spinnin'

Cuz they said it would get better but it didn't

End of day I'm punching out and make the long walk home

My roommate's going out tonight and I'll be left alone

Sometimes I think that it'd be nice if I was invited

I don't have any friends but then again I never did

They said it would get better

But it didn't

I'm wishing for a better life but who isn't

I need to carry on but my heart's not in it

Don't ask me how I am, my head is spinnin'

Cuz they said it would get better but it didn't

I don't know how to be happy

Cuz everybody's failing me

Like they always have

They said it would get better

But it didn't

I'm wishing for a better life but who isn't

I need to carry on but my heart's not in it

Don't ask me how I am, my head is spinnin'

Cuz they said it would get better but it didn't
